The All Progressives Congress has rescheduled its Presidential Primary to Friday, Sept. 28, as against the earlier announced date of Thursday, September 27.
Yekini Nabena, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, announced this in a statement on Monday in Abuja.
Nabena said the election was rescheduled because of the Osun governorship re-run election fixed for Thursday, September 27, by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
He said: “In view of the Osun governorship re-run election which has been scheduled for Thursday, September 27, 2018, by INEC, the APC has now rescheduled the presidential primary election to September 28.
“This is to avoid a clash in dates with the Osun governorship re-run election and to enable all registered party members in all 36 states of the federation, including the Federal Capital Territory participate in the exercise.”
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the APC presidential election is to pass an affirmative vote on President Muhammadu Buhari, who is the party’s sole candidate for the 2019 presidential election.
